Far Cry 5. It's probably the only game I've played that has the same songs written in totally distinct music styles. Each song, like "We Will Rise Again", is written as:
A church hymnal (men and women's mixed chorus)
A folk song (bluegrass inspired, fiddles, acoustic guitars, and steel harps)
An ethereal rendition by Hammock that evokes the "bliss" part of the game world that the character Faith rules.
It's amazing that all three of these songs are the same in lyrics and meaning, but their execution is completely different and had very different emotional feels as a result.
